• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

  Les mousquetaires au couvent (The Musketeers at the Convent) is an opérette in three acts by Louis Varney, with a libretto by Jules Prével and Paul Ferrier, after the 1835 vaudeville L’habit ne fait pas le moine by Amable de Saint-Hilaire and Paul Dupont. It was Varney’s most successful work, and the only one to have maintained a place in the French repertoire.

  Performance history
  It was first performed at the Théâtre des Bouffes-Parisiens in Paris on 16 March 1880, where it was revived in a revised version on 2 September 1880 and then in 1883, 1896 and 1906. It was also produced in Paris at the Théâtre des Folies-Dramatiques from 1886 to 1909, as well as at the Théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs in 1896 and 1897 and the Théâtre de la Gaîté in 1899, 1901 and 1913.

  Since 1945, the operetta has had a few major productions in France, notably at the Théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique in 1952 and 1957. There were also presentations in 1968 at the Porte Saint Martin Festival in Paris, and at the Opéra-Comique in 1992, with Gabriel Bacquier. A production was mounted in Nice in 2001, and in June 2015 the Opéra-Comique presented a new production by Jérôme Deschamps, conducted by Laurent Campellone.
